This game flopped hard.
I'm surprised at the lack of negative reviews for it though. I'd expect a lot more red on the review page if it crashed and burned as bad as people are telling me.
People would have to care enough to play it for that.
Some games only attract specific niche crowds, so even though the majority of gamers would probably dislike it, the majority don't play it because it's obvious it won't appeal to them. Thus, the only people who pay for it, play it, and review it, are the ones that love it.
I don't think people cared about the game. It just looked bad on every aspect and PoE lore is honestly not that interesting. It is not a bad lore but a bit boring, definitely not enough to make you excited about this game. I'm guessing all the not bad reviews are just leftists gaslighting.
The lack of enthusiasm alone points on how bad the game looks. Skyrim but woke and worse is not a good selling point for a game.
Peak was 17k concurrent users. In comparison Veilguard was 89k.
What's curious is that it's currently Steam's top seller, but concurrent users playing it remains paltry.
Who knows, until we see units sold I’ll hold my breath. Active players wise it’s less than outer worlds which sold ~800k on steam and had a 20k peak.
Units sold often includes the wholesales to retailers. I wonder if anyone tracks retail sales.
It’s tracking based on surge of purchases, not concurrent players. Since the surge was with pre-purchases it shows up as a top seller.
Ah, I hadn't considered pre-purchases playing into that, but it makes sense. So wow, it's not even going to make it to the surface for a breath.
Worth noting that its available through the battle.net client and they've been spamming ads for it for weeks. It probably has a solid amount of its playerbase over there.
Not anything "success" worth, but enough to narrow that gap somewhat.
I can’t keep up - what’s the story on this game?
Shitlib Oblivion with Morrowind era physics

Obsidian wanted to make a fantasy competitor to elder scrolls using the PoE lore.
The art director was an open anti-white racist that discriminated against white people and wanted them replaced in the industry. Obsidian chose to support him or at least keep him and not make any statements about it.
The little good will Obsidian had was gone so woke Skyrim is not selling.
It is not a sequel so it was going to be a success on word of mouth, apparently woke Skyrim didn't work.
It looks good, but people complain about it's "wokeness"? I've watched a little bit of streams showing it, I didn't see anything blatantly woke :/

Hahahahahahaha
What the hell is even that? An evolved Furby? Did somebody fuck Gizmo and this is the offspring?
...it looks like you took the lead from an 80s adventure movie for kids and crossed it with the comedic sidekick character...
Snarf x Cheetara offspring

That somehow looks more retarded than my ARK characters did.
Quote from the NPC :
why the fuck did i click that
Oh God, it's a 1980 furry-soccer mom.
The art director went on social media back in December and said that all Trump voters should "feel the sting of shame for the rest of their putrid lives." I'm not touching anything out of Obsidian with a 10-ft pole until he is publicly fired and Obsidian disavows his statements.
Nigga you BLIND?
It looks like a game that came out a decade ago slipped together by script kiddies and an artists that’s on par with current AI slop
You’re secretly a gay furry, aren’t you?

This video is both exactly what I expected out of Avowed and exactly why I didn't want it even if it hadn't been targeted toward the Concord/Veilguard "audience" (all 700 of them).
